Your Half-Timbered Shops model

This pair of half-timbered shops (also called "black and white" or "Tudor" style) would look great on your LEGO Castle, City, Train, or Pirate layout. The large ornamental chimneys are typical of Tudor brickwork.

The LEGO building instructions for the model are very complete, fully detailed, and take you step-by-step through the construction process in full color. You can use them on your computer screen or print them out, your choice.

Here you can see how the building comes apart into a lower floor, upper floor, and roof to reveal the interior.

Look at what's inside!

Fully detailed upstairs and down

Downstairs there's a fishmonger and an apothecary (old fashioned chemist/drugstore), with medieval or modern fittings.

Upstairs, the modern and medieval styles are completely different. Each shop has a separate one-room apartment above it, with stairs from the ground floor.

The medieval style living spaces feature wooden tables, stools and benches, beds, and storage chests and shelves. The outhouse I've left up to you! The brown plate furniture in the medieval living spaces has been largely replaced by brown tiles in the actual instructions.

Half-Timbered Shops

In its overall shape, being nothing more than a rectangular box with a roof on top, it's probably not an easy task to develop a LEGO-house as an
interesting set to build. However, Kevin succeeded in tackling this with some key design choices:

First, it's a double house, but the building isn't mirrored. The two sides differ in footprint surface size, as well as in appearence. Second, some realistic irregularities have been introduced, like the recessing of the front doors, the typical overhang of the successive floors and variation of the grid size of the black "timber beams". In several places there is a offset of the vertical posts between the first and the second floor, and I think this also helps a lot to make the building look more natural.

My order of the set included the optional Medieval Interior. Having seen the Shopping Mall kit of the Lions Gate Models kit line, we already knew that Kevin has a talent for designing original shop interiors. In my opinion he succeeded again with this Medieval Interior. The apothecary makes good use of the currently available wealth of transparent round bricks, plates and cones. The different levels of prosperity for the two shops match their different size of floorspace well.Manfred Moolhuysen, Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The modern apartments each feature a small bathroom, kitchen area, dining area, sleeping and sitting space.

Factory"Now that I finally have your factory constructed and gracefully over-powering my parents' dining room table, I just wanted to say thanks for putting such quality into your product, especially in a time when it seems everyone can get away with cutting corners."

Railroad DepotI was a little apprehensive about ordering a Lego kit from someone, but after I got the Railroad Depot, and put it together, BOY was I pleased. All of the parts were there, and your instructions were very easy to follow. The finished building looks great. I cannot say enough great things about it. I am going to order your CD of instructions, so that I can build some of your kits, that you no longer have available.
